What is Defensive Driving?

Pittsburgh Defensive Driving

Participating in a Defensive Driving school provides benefits that go beyond the streets of Pittsburgh. Of course students in our Drivers Education will learn about safety, laws, and will even get to take to the streets with personal driving lessons. But, defensive driving also allows residents to save money. No matter if residents are drivers of Wexford, Cranberry, or Pittsburgh, Drivers Ed can help keep insurance rates down and Ultimate Defensive Driving is here to help.

Have a new driver, or trying to recover from a speeding ticket? Drivers Education may be able to help. By simply enrolling in a Drivers Ed course following a ticket assures that the driver’s insurance rates will not increase by reducing points on one’s driver’s license.

Not only are drivers keeping their insurance rates low, they are helping to keep the roads of Wexford and over to Cranberry safe by staying educated. Approximately 41,000 people die yearly due to car crashes, and over three-million injuries are related to car accidents. Many of these deaths and injuries could be avoided by a simple Defensive Driving course and teaching them to use good judgment when behind the wheel. It is usually not because drivers neglect to do the right thing when a situation arises on the highway; instead, it is usually because they do not have the proper knowledge to act correctly.

Drivers Ed students will take the knowledge they are taught in the classroom and apply it in a real-life situation. Student drivers are able to take driving lessons with a professional by their side to offer support and keep the students comfortable so they are able to learn first-hand how to react in a high-stress situation in the driver’s seat. Students will also learn how to avoid traffic accidents and also learn how to recognize potential hazards that could in turn save their life.

It is our job to keep our community safe and informed. The benefits of enrolling in Drivers Education courses go beyond just saving money; they could save a life one day. Why risk taking a chance? Stay educated and keep everyone on our roadways safe.
